2016 Day 24 – Transcendent

Mythopoesis:
She creates a world
With discarded fag-butts and torn carrier bags,
With toe-nail clippings and traffic cones.
She oversees transmutation
Of spit and chewing-gum
Into iridescent spheres.
Transubstantiation:
Chicken nuggets and Pepsi
Become the ineffable, snot-nosed beauty
Of a maker of worlds.

 

Notes: The prompt was to “write a ‘mix-and-match’ poem in which you mingle fancy vocabulary with distinctly un-fancy words”. (For non-British readers, ‘fag’ = ‘cigarette’.)
